i've known congressman ellison for a few years now, through various political activism type of works and i was really honored to have the congressman invite me and be a part of the state of the union. i had the opportunity to meet with president obama last monday in minneapolis when he came to discuss gun violence and gun violence prevention. and he was absolutely right when he said that we all deserve a vote. >> sammy, when you talk to the president, what did you tell him? what do you want from him? >> well, really main thing i said to the president was a big thank you. he has been bold and courageous as gabby giffords implored him to do, as she implored congress to do as well, that the time is now. the time is absolutely now. the president has said that multiple times. he's also said that if we can save even one life from gun violence death, then we have the obligation to try and i've said i believe that if we pass background checks, if we pass an assault weapons ban, an effective assault weapons ban and limit high capacity magazines, we'll save many more than simply one life. >> s

joining us, our political analyst cornell belcher. he was a democrat tig pollster for the obama campaign. also, the former bush white house speechwriter david frum. guys, thanks very much for coming in. the fact that marco rubio gets a sip of water, a big deal, little deal? it's one of the curses of doing this response to a president's state of the union. people are only going to remember that. >> it's a twitter deal. absent twitter, i don't know that the water would be a story at all. marco rubio did two things that were important. one positive, one negative. the positive is he really found a successful new tone for a republican response. this is a big country a mile away from the takers and dependence attitude. that's very welcome. the negative thing is he was not able to introduce new ideas. this is very much a familiar republican message. but the tone is his work. the ideas are the collective work of the party so he gets an "a." the party, not so much. >> i'm going to agree with half of what my friend says. part of the reason is i

so, in your mind, is the political price too high to support president obama's proposal, whatever it may be? >> well, a pew research poll yesterday showed that a scant 23% of the american public support this kind of strike. and i don't think it's about political pressure alone. but history has shown us that when americans do not believe in the cause, that their country is about to engage in, the likelihood for success is diminished greatly. i think you have to weigh that in consideration. but, more than that, there are three fundamentals that i think have to be, have to be met before we involve ourselves in a conflict of this nature. number one, defining clearly what's at stake for the u.s. our national security, is it going to be breached if we don't take action? i have not seen a clear answer on that yet. i don't believe it is imperative to our national security. second, what are the rules of engagement and what do we hope to accomplish? is it possible that we actually escalate the conflict and that there will be more civilian casualties as a result of this type of selective bombin

when 70%, 71% of latinos actually voted for president obama. you know, this is -- it isn't purely political, suzanne, but politics has absolutely a lot to do with this. it is the right policy. we do need to get this done. there's no question about that. this is not just good for latinos, this is not just good for immigrants. this is good for america. the cbo report that came out this week i think is the biggest piece of news that where it says that comprehensive immigration reform will boost our economic security reducing the deficit by $1 trillion over the next two decades. $700 billion in additional wealth and housing will be injected by this bill. there's no question this is the right thing to do, but politically, marco rubio knows if he has any aspirations to reach the white house -- and he will tell everybody that that's not what he's thinking right now, but if at any point in the future he wants to do this, he knows that this is something that his party has to do, not just for his aspirations, but if the republican party ever wants to get

like the key parts at least of the senate bill, the reinsurance, the income verification, president obama said "nobody gets to threaten the full faith and credit of the united states just to the extract political concessions," but if you're open to that as presumably the white house is because they're talking to senate democrats, isn't that concessions? >> again, i think what we have seen -- what we have seen in the process thus far that senator reid has engaged in is a proposal that would reopen the government and remove the threat of a first ever of u.s. default by raising the debt ceiling. you know, we don't need any more self-inflicted wounds from congress. the economy is already paying a price as outside analysts have noted. there is already a cost to the economy, and therefore, to growth and jobs from this behavior. and it's important, as i think so many americans believe, that it stop, that congress simply fulfill its basic responsibilities to open the government, to fund it at again, levels that were set by republicans so that we can get about the business of negotiating in good f
